Planning an event in Slutshole?
Working with your venue

Hog roast for events near Slutshole
For a school fair, you want food families will queue for. Pork rolls, chicken and a vegan option cover most visitors. For club events and charity days, we can cook apple sauce, halloumi skewers and hog roast rolls for your visitors.
For a village fête or field event near Slutshole, a hog roast brings hot food to a rural site. Ground and access matter, so tell us about them. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we’ll give you the allergen information for every dish before booking.
Questions from Slutshole
Which station is closest to Slutshole?
Selling station, about 2.1 miles south of the centre.
Can you do a hog roast in Mount Ephraim Gardens?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, generally the council, and many parks don’t allow cooking. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
How do we prepare?
Just the agreed spot and a contact on the day. Everything for roasting and serving comes with us.
Do you do DIY hog roast hire?
We do, if you are happy to roast and carve yourself. We’ll explain the details with your quote.
Do you leave the area tidy?
We pack everything away after service, so you’re not left with the mess.
Do you do charity events?
Tell us about the event and how you’d like to raise money, and we’ll suggest a way to make it work.
What about visitors who don’t eat pork?
There are lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options: spit-roast lamb, rotisserie chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan burger or sausage. We do not offer halal meat.
When do you start roasting?
Several hours, depending on the size and the weather, so we arrive well before you want to eat. We work back from your serving time.
What a hog roast costs
We do not use a fixed price list, because every event is different. What matters most:
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
- Season and day of the week
- How many people are eating
- Travel to Slutshole
Distance is part of the price: we include travel in the quote, with any London charges listed. Tell us the exact address for an accurate figure.
Getting an accurate quote
The more we know, the more accurate the quote. Useful details:
- The date and time of the event
- An estimate of numbers
- Any dietary needs or allergies
- The venue or postcode
Send us the date, the address or ME13 postcode and rough numbers, along with your serving time. We’ll check the date and send a quote. Fill in our quote form.
Should I cook it myself?
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience, especially outdoors.
Catered or DIY? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With DIY hire, you do the work and save on staffing.
Community events around Slutshole
Slutshole is about 3 miles east of Faversham, in Kent. Hosts in Slutshole book us for events of all sizes. We cater all 922 towns and villages across Kent. We cater events right across the region, from Slutshole to Canterbury (6 miles away).
A summer fête at Church of St Michael is the classic setting for a hog roast. School fairs, for a school like Hernhill Church of England Primary School, are a natural fit for a hog roast. The coast is within about 5 miles of Slutshole, so for seaside events we plan a sheltered pitch.
Here we cover the ME13 postcode area. Close by, we cover events in Hernhill (1 mile north-east), Staplestreet (1 mile south-west), Dargate (1 mile north-east), Goodnestone (1 mile north-west) and Culmers (1 mile north-west).

- Pubs nearby include Red Lion pub (less than half a mile north-east)
How it works
We cook on a gas-fired roaster, so we don’t need mains power to cook; a nearby socket helps with lights if service runs into the evening. Late-September events in Slutshole lose the light at about 7:00pm, so plan lighting if you are trading into the evening.
- Organisers send us the date, site, numbers and how food will be paid for.
- We check access to the pitch and send a price.
- We arrive early, set up on the pitch and start roasting.
- We serve to order through the event.
- Afterwards we clear the pitch and go.
Getting ready for the day
- Name a contact for the day
- Make sure the cooking area is away from walls, tents and trees
- Pick a flat, open area outside for cooking
Ask for a quote
Getting a quote is simple: tell us when, where, how many and what time you’d like to eat. We will reply with a clear price and what’s included. Fill in our quote form.
